For most women, when we are invited to study leadership the teachers, scholars, authorities and models are primarily… men. We are indoctrinated from the time we are born that men are the leaders and that natural male characteristics are the strengths you must also possess to be a good leader. Powerful. Strong. Authoritative. Direct. Assertive. Decisive. These and so many more are attributes that are typically associated with the male model of a leader. And so, for the better part of the last one hundred years as women have made their way into the fold, in a variety of leadership roles, we have learned and studied to walk the way of a men to achieve success. Women dismiss their own knowing because we’ve been so indoctrinated in male leadership models. We dismiss what we know for what others tell us to be and how to be seen. There is another way to lead. To be in alignment. To not feel like an imposter. It’s time for the reimagining of leadership. That’s not to disparage any of the progress that has come before us. Progress is progress. For those of us who stand in the footsteps of the women who came before us we are here because of their courage, bravery and resilience. I wonder instead if women equally looked to the characteristics they learned from their mothers for leadership. I wonder if we were taught to lean on different qualities to drive success. I wonder what might happen then? The traditional qualities of mothering are communication, nurturing, listening, strength, support, grace, and yes… love. What if to be the best leader you can be as a woman, you integrated the best of both? This is how women will stand with integrity in their role as leaders. As women, we can be assertive, direct, powerful, and authoritative but we need not only rely on those attributes for success. After 25 years of watching and studying leaders, I can tell you that for sure many traditional male attributes are effective in the short run, but they typically only serve a few. Whereas, when leadership is feminine. When the leader possesses the strengths of femininity and grace the results are for all. This podcast is my like my gentle request and invitation to my fellow female leaders that we reclaim the world leadership as one that is a feminine definition. That we continue to work with all of our allies to build organizations and systems that include more support, collaboration, grace and communication. And that we do so not because we are uncomfortable with the more traditional male-dominating models, but because we truly do know that leadership is a feminine strength and attribute. And the world needs more of us leading. Now more than ever.Copyright © 2019 - 2024 Kris Plachy Economía Gestión Gestión y Liderazgo Liderazgo

  • The Most Overlooked Step Between Leading and Leaving

    The Most Overlooked Step Between Leading and Leaving
    Sep 1 2025

    What’s your plan for the business you’ve worked so hard to build?

    After walking through all seven transitions in the Beyond the CEO series, Kris is turning her focus to what comes next: the tactical and strategic steps every founder must take to ensure the business can run—and even thrive—without her constant presence.

    This isn’t just about getting through today’s to-do list. It’s about preparing your business, your team, and yourself for what’s ahead—whether that’s scaling, exiting, or simply reclaiming more of your life. Because the truth is, too many women wait until they’re burned out before asking the hard questions: Is my business ready? Am I ready? What happens after this season ends?

    Here’s what we explore:
    • Why a team audit is as essential as cleaning out your closet
    • The leadership shift from telling to asking—and how it changes everything
    • How to capture your wisdom and IP so others can use it without you
    • The possibility of creating generational wealth through an exit
    • Why retirement isn’t the end—it’s a call to design a future with purpose

    This episode is your invitation to stop avoiding the practical steps and start laying the foundation for a business you can lead and leave. Because the earlier you prepare, the more options you have—and the more freedom you create to design what’s next.

  • The Transition That Changes Everything

    The Transition That Changes Everything
    Aug 25 2025

    Are you willing to release control and trust others with what you’ve built

    In this episode, Kris closes out the Beyond the CEO series by walking through the final transitions that take you from structure and strategy into wisdom and possibility. It’s not just about building processes—it’s about letting go of false truths, reclaiming clarity, playing without an agenda, and stepping fully into Sage energy.

    This is where leadership becomes less about control and more about trust, curiosity, and freedom.

    Here’s what we explore:
    • The surprising power of asking “What do you think?” instead of giving answers
    • Why restless, “itchy” seasons are signs of growth, not failure
    • How boredom after success reveals what was missing all along
    • The trap of being needed versus the freedom of being trusted
    • What Sage energy looks like in practice—and why it always whispers, “There’s more.

    This episode is your invitation to stop defaulting to what’s inherited, expected, or safe—and start building a business you can both lead and leave. Because when you do, you create the freedom to explore what’s next and the impact to feed the future with your wisdom.

  • Your Next Chapter Won’t Come From Your Old Blueprint

    Your Next Chapter Won’t Come From Your Old Blueprint
    Aug 18 2025

    Have you been intentional about what stays in your life—and what goes?

    If you’ve been following this special Beyond the CEO mini-series on the seven transitions every founder must face, you know last week was all about play, curiosity, and exploration. Now, in Transition Six—Intentional Design—we take everything you’ve discovered in that playful, curious phase and start shaping it into a grounded, deliberate vision for what’s next.

    This isn’t about hustling toward another “should.” It’s about building your next chapter with clarity, purpose, and your own rules. Kris shares why this stage only works if you’ve truly given yourself the gift of experimentation first—and how skipping that step leads to recreating the same patterns you’ve outgrown.

    She walks through her own clarity breakthroughs (including a newfound love of pickleball, hosting in-person gatherings, and refining her environment) and invites you to ask yourself: What’s in? What’s out? What’s worth designing into the next version of your life?

    Here’s what we explore:
    • Why play and exploration are prerequisites for true clarity
    • How to sculpt a new vision without dragging old expectations into it
    • The importance of refining, not just adding
    • Why environment, people, and commitments all deserve intentional choice
    • How universal truths guide every stage of your evolution

    This episode is your invitation to stop defaulting to what’s inherited, expected, or safe—and start crafting a life and business that reflects the woman you are now.
